he should be tested for that bonehead move at the end of the 400. i watched wind tunnel last night and wonder what race some of the people who emailed or called in were watching. some wanted tony fined by nascar. tony did nothing wrong. he held his line never dropped down into busch but you can view the replay and clearly see busch take a right instesd of a left. bonehead moves like that are going to get someone killed. this boy is out of control. i believe nascar or jg racing should step in and give kb a reality check.

Kyle was totally at fault for that crazy move he made at the end of the Coke 400. He either needs glasses or a new spotter. He was no way clear of Tony. Tony held his line just like Brad Kesolowski did at Talladega when cousin Carl moved up. Someone is really going to be hurt bad or killed because of these stupid idiot bonehead moves. I watched this week is nascar and listened to Kyle's radio and he a was bragging he had "got the lead" from Tony. That was great but he seemed to forget there was still a lap to go. Just my opinion.

While I do not agree with his driving style. He certainly wins alot . I think the attitude is a family traight. Kurt was just as bad when he was younger. Kurt started the wreck that almost killed Geoff Bodine in Daytona. Alot of people told Kurt he was a3@32%6&*@#3 plenty of times and I'm one of them. Actually to his face. The COT has alot of blind spots , and now more than ever a driver depends on his spotter. And the action is so fast by the time you say down low or up high its to late. I seem to remember a well known driver that had a pass from every one when he caused wrecks. I think the powers that be want this. It gets the blood flowing from the fans. But Tony was a class act in the winners circle. Great Driver, Great Person,and he gives back. Who would of thought he would be 1st in Points. Way to go Tony

KB is an arrogant person, if that's what he should be referred as! He is a disgrace to the sport. He needs an attitude adjustment. Hey, Jimmie Spencer, are you up for the challenge?????

I could not disagree more with this talk I am reading. Did you guys start watching Racing last week. I have seen the same moves from the greatest names in the sport, crash others and have it chalked up to hard racing. Do you not remember a crash in Daytona that allowed Richard to win number 200, exact same circumstance. A few weeks ago basically Carl Edwards did the exact same thing. I hope this group spent equally as much time bar-b-queing him. It was clear as Tony intended, he took the air off the back end as Kyle was coming out of turn 4. Kyle was wobbling all the way down the front stretch. Tony did exactly what he should have been trying to do to pass. Kyle was too loose as Tony slid out to pass. Watch the lap before as they came out of 4, Tony was wobbling all over the place as Kyle made the pass. In Victory lane, Tony had no harsh words whatsoever for Kyle. He even spoke of how loose he was able to get Kyle. You may not like Kyle, but remember some of the so called bonehead moves that Earnheart Sr. made as well as Waltrop. It was just hard racing. Look at some of the current drivers who are always making mistakes and crashing half the feild. Kyle is not that guy.

Tony did take the air off of Kyle, he could have just pushed him into the wall but he didn't . But your DVD replay must have skipped a lap because on the last lap you can clearly see Kyle Busch not wobbling and turn directly turn right into Tony. Also go back and listen to the commentators as they all CLEARLY tell you that Kyle was mirrow driving and Tony was doing what he had to do.. Kyle Busch should have learned from his arrogant brother. Kyle is a brat who can't take disappointment, loosing or criticism. It really does make you wonder what kind of parents raised these two twits.

LOL Slim :o)Personally, I am so tired of people comparing the "classless" antics of Kyle "The Whiner/Got Milk" Busch to the "grassroots" driving of Dale Sr., DW, or "The King." Granted, these drivers may have caused some racing incidents during their years on the tracks; however, I have never seen an individual be so bold as to intentionally wreck people - yes more than one driver - in order to win a race. Unfortunately, he caused himself to wreck in the most recent bonehead move because he thought he could block the entire track. "Smoke" is a very talented driver who drove a great race and he held his line. Whether KB or his spotter made that foolish call to throw the second block is still up for debate... Kyle is wild and he needs a dose of chill pills because he is going to cause a wreck that will get some other drivers seriously injured or worse. He is going to have to drive with more that his talent - how about utilizing some brain smarts? Anyway, drug testing is probably not the solution maybe he should be sent to Charm & Etiquette school.

What you saw sat nite happens all over at different tracks in different levels of racing --true he was clearly blocking and he is a very aggressive driver but go to GP speedway or to Sommerville speedway and they race the same way---to win. I did and if you were a driver at heart you raced to win even on short tracks dirt or paved and if you never blocked or nudged someone to maybe stay ahead to win then you there to ride around---true on superspeedways its a bit more dangerous but the desire to win is the goal--- most of the seasoned drivers will tell you welll you know when they were driving it wasnt called blocking ,it was called leaning on someone or maybe they slipped a little but its born in you--- thats what fills the stands and makes the show go on-- some say they wont say his name and others want to get on a track with him and teach kyle a lesson---gotta catch him first, he and tony are still friends,no one is mad and chicago will will be another wild time in the windy, yall be sure to tune in now-----memories

HEY TIM JUST READ YOUR REPORT PERTAINING TO LAST SAT NITE TELL YA WHAT LETS YOU AND GO UP TO THE LOCAL DIRT TRACK AND SHOW THESE GUYS HOW WE CAN LEAN ON EACH OTHER ALL NITE AND BLOCK EACH OTHER LAP AFTER LAP AND THEN AFTER ITS ALL OVER GET OUT ON THE FRONT STETCH , LAUGH AND HAVE A GOOD TIME, THEN TELL EACH OTHER WHAT WE GOING TO DO NEXT TIME WE MEET SO WE CAN DRAW A BIGGER CROWD FOR A BIGGER PURSE--NOW THATS RACING-----memories

If Bush would accept the defeat he wouldn't get bar-ba-cued. I believe the frustration stems from the foul mouthed comments Kyle made later and not necessarily the wreck. One thing Carl E. didn't do is put the blame on Kesolowski. Kyle is a very young immature boy, perhaps he'll grow out of it in a few years. Hey, you don't see Jeff Gordon crying anymore!

Did anyone catch the rolling eyes from "Pouty" Busch after last nights race when he said I guess it was a good points night? I was waiting for him to start crying and taking his ball and going home.

i've been told by an older gentelman years ago that stupid people can learn ingorant can't. kyle in one ingorant #%%$#%^^. i don't believe joe gibbs racing is going to put up with his actions and no comments to the media when things don't go his way. i thought joe gibbs was a no bull$%^&^% kind of guy. this ingorant baby cried last night about the 88 and about his team mate at the age of 19 taking him to school. " i cant believe he's driving away from me" lets see what kind of schooling mr. ingorant gets the rest of the year. nascar does not need this kind of person in the chase.

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle,, Grow up son. I was not a fan of yours at all until you gave Sam Ard that money last year! That was a great heart felt gesture and I know the Ard's are greatful for that donation. This softened my dislike for you! Bur Kyle after the move at the 400, I don't know if I should be riding the rail on your support or not. You did not earn the nickname "Rowdy" for nothing. You were clearly in the wrong on this, It appeared to me that you were trying to wreck Tony, and it backfired on you.No I do not think that you are on drugs as some have suggested. I do however think that you may need to see a doctor on your mood swings and I am serious, Kyle, I thin kth at you need helo on the moody side,Pastor KenRacers Reunion Chaplain.

well wrote john if you came up in racing this same ending has happened all over at short tracks,dirt and paved,on longer tracks even up to the start on the beach,watch some of the old video clips of back then,even the grandaddy of nascar put a similar move on another prominate driver of the time doing the same thing and ending up with same results,only thing missing are the quick pens of today-- everyone enjoy the races,pull for your hero and if it didnt end your way just wait till next week things will differ then -----------memories
